소프 윌로비 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

Lots of signage on this route. Some directional and some informative.

Great for a road bike. Quiet route. View on fields.

Nice little park just south of Selby Abbey.

Has a well kept Portaloo open to the public, and a tap!

Grade I listed building. The surviving fifteenth-century structures formed part of a fortified medieval palace belonging to the Archbishops of York, which was dismantled in the aftermath of the English Civil War. The only remaining parts of the castle are the gatehouse and the banqueting hall. Stones from the destroyed castle were used in the construction of surrounding houses. The foundations of some other structures do remain as well as the castle's cellar, which was excavated in the 19th century. The gatehouse served as a courthouse until the 1930s, before being used as an officers' mess and a building for the Home Guard during World War II. The first fortifications on this site are believed to be those built by King Athelstan in the 10th Century.

Grade II listed swing bridge opened in 1872. The deck was submerged when the River Ouse flooded in 2015.

Nearly seven miles each way, and fully paved. There are plenty of places to join the route if you don't fancy the entire length, with easy parking in Riccall, Naburn, Bishopthorpe and just off the B1222 between Stillingfleet and Escrick. Much of it is tree-lined, providing relief from the sun or light showers, and there are plenty of benches to rest on along the way. The section between Riccall and Naburn is quite peaceful, but between Naburn and Bishopthorpe it can get busy, and unfortunately a lot of dog fouling on the route near Bishopthorpe.

Breakfast , coffee , Buns etc .
